August 20, 2009.
KW Sackheim Development
(Sackheim) and Bradley D. Reeves
(Reeves) filed preliminary permit
applications, pursuant to section 4(f) of
the Federal Power Act, proposing to
study the feasibility of the Lake Valley
Canal Project, to be located between the
North Fork of the North Fork American
River and Drum canal in Placer County,
California. The same project is referred
to as the Parshall Canal Project in the
Reeves application. The Sackheim
application also proposes to study the
feasibility of two additional sites: (1)
The Bear-Halsey drop on Bear Creek
canal to the Halsey forebay in Placer
County, California; and (2) the WiseRock drop on the Wise canal to Rock
Creek reservoir in Placer County,
California. All three of the above sites
are non-generating features of the
Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s
(PG&E) Drum Spaulding Project No.
2310. The Sackheim application was
filed on May 12, 2008, and the Reeves
application was filed on April 28, 2009.
The sole purpose of a preliminary
permit, if issued, is to grant the permit
holder priority to file a license
application during the permit term. A
preliminary permit does not authorize
the permit holder to perform any land

disturbing activities or otherwise enter
upon lands or waters owned by others
without the owners’ express permission.
The Lake Valley Canal Project
proposed by Sackheim would consist of:
(1) The existing 8,400-foot-long Lake
Valley canal between the North Fork of
the North Fork American River and
Drum canal; (2) an existing 30-inchdiameter, 210-foot-long pipeline serving
as a penstock; (3) a new powerhouse
containing a single Pelton type turbine
generator rated at 1,300 kilowatts; (4)
approximately 800 feet of new threephase power line following an existing
PG&E road and an upgrade of 1,600 feet
of existing transmission line from
single-phase to 3-phase. The proposed
Lake Valley Canal Project would have
an average annual generation of 4
gigawatt-hours.
The Parshall Canal Project proposed
by Reeves would consist of: (1) The
existing 8,400-foot-long canal between
the North Fork of the North Fork of the
American River and Drum canal; (2) an
existing 2,100 feet long, 30-inchdiameter pipeline serving as a penstock;
(3) a proposed new powerhouse with a
single Pelton type generator rated at
1,050 kilowatts; (4) approximately 800
feet of three-phase transmission line
following an existing PG&E road along
the Drum canal and an upgrade of 1,600
feet of single-phase line to three-phase
line. The proposed Parshall Canal
Project would have an average annual
generation of 4 gigawatt-hours.
The following two developments are
only proposed by Sackheim:
The Bear River Canal-Halsey Drop
development would consist of: (1) The
30-foot drop at the end of the Bear River
canal and dropping down to the Halsey
forebay; (2) a new powerhouse
enclosing a propeller or bulb type
turbine generator rated at 800 kilowatts,
located at the terminus of the Bear River
canal discharge to the Halsey forebay;
and (3) approximately 200 feet of new
three-phase power line and the upgrade
of approximately 1,400 feet of singlephase line to three-phase line.
The Wise Canal-Rock Creek reservoir
development would consist of: (1) The
existing Wise canal from the Rock Creek
diversion to Rock Creek reservoir; (2) a
new powerhouse containing a bulb type
or propeller turbine generator rated at
900 kilowatts; (3) a 12-kva transformer
and ancillary equipment; and (4) a new
700-foot-long, 12-kilovolt transmission
line.
